Since I’m running a D&D 4e home brewed adventure for my gaming group this week, a lot of my creative energies will be focused there for the next few days. A guy needs his priorities straight and my D&D game is pretty much at the top of my ‘use of free time’ list. This means […]
The voice of Chattyness
If you ever wondered what this French Canadian Blogger sounds like after 3 days with little sleep and way too much geek energy, go and have a listen at Pulp Gamer. They just put up the RPGbloggers unite panel from Gen Con. Along with Dave and Bartoneus of Critical Hits, Yax of Dungeonmastering.com, The Stupid […]
Consultant GM Case #1: The Wrecked Ship of Horror
Its the weekend, time to try something new! In the last few months, I’ve taken a role of GM consulting through Gmail with readers and friends. One of the things I excel at is brainstorming and throwing ideas out. When I started getting great feedback for the ideas I gave out I started thinking maybe […]
Adventure Prep: Of Airships, Feys and Player Input
After a poisoned pillow fight, Slave apes and a librarian warrior chainmail bikini fetish, I promised my players that I’d write the last part of our 1st D&D 4e campaign and bring it to an apex of coolness. Since our next session is next week and the adventure is actually going to be a homebrewed […]
Kobold Love Update: Scene 2 is up
I posted a new Kobold Love article today (my D&D 4e Reverse Dungeon Adventure I’m working on) . In it, I tackle Scene 2, where the Half-Kobold PCs, travelling to the City to seek out and kill the quest giver, meet a group of inexperienced adventurers traveling in the reverse direction to their dungeon home. […]
Chatty’s Question: Your duality as a DM/GM
As discussed last week, GMs are often really hard on themselves. Yet we can’t all be doing a bad job now can’t we? So I thought to myself, how about we talk some more about that. I want to know that one thing you know you are good at as a GM. Tell us what […]
On Fighting the Blues… and Winning!
No, honest to god, this is NOT yet another post about how miserable I feel! Quite the contrary. I occasionally talk about my mental health here for 2 reasons. One, it is therapeutic to put it out there for others to see… it forces me to deal with it actively. Two, I know many other […]
Supers Carnival Roundup!
Hello, I’m Chatty DM, your host for last month’s RPG Blog Carnival. It was quite a month for Super Heroic RPG blog goodness let me tell you. So here’s my digest! Things started out with my good friend Greywulf where he picked some Supers Tropes (Alternate Origins, Costumes, Group names, Base of Operations, etc) and […]
Chatty’s Finds: Kids, Castle and Caves
During my daily luminotherapy sessions, I travel the net for some blog goodies. Through Jeff’s Gameblog and through James’s Lamentation of the Flame Princess, I found a link to an outfit called Brave Halfling Production that currently supports some of the Retro-Clone games out there (i.e. New RPGs inspired by the rulesets of the Original […]
Chatty’s Inter-Review: Yan on Forgotten Heroes
I decided a few weeks ago that weekend posts would be experimental in nature. This is where I would test out new concepts or potential series, a writing workbench so to speak. This week, I’m posting a review of a product a friend of mine read and I interviewed him on it. I’m calling this […]
